State Government transfers planning authority for villages to NMMC.

The Authority

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development body (MMRDA) has been formally removed by the state government from its role as the special planning body for the fourteen newly incorporated villages in Thane district. To facilitate the development of these villages, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has been awarded the jurisdiction of the special planning authority as of August 23, 2024.

Six months ago, the NMMC gained authority over the 14 villages, which are Dahisar, Mokali, Walivali, Pimpri, Nighu, Navali, Wakaln, Bamarli, Narivali, Bale, Nagaon Bhandarli, Uttar Shiv, and Goteghar.

But the MMRDA’s continued possession of special planning power has put these areas’ development ambitions on hold. Subsequently, the NMMC had asked the state government to transfer these powers, and it has finally been granted.

The Integrated Development Control and Promotion Regulations and the current regional plan, which was authorized by MMRDA, will be in force until NMMC completes and executes a new development plan for these villages. It is also recommended that the NMMC work with MMRDA on current projects for which approvals have previously been obtained but development is not yet complete.

According to the Assistant Director of NMMC’s Urban Planning Department, the authority transfer would allow for more efficient development procedures for the 14 communities. Now that the government has given its approval, NMMC will begin work on creating a new development plan for these regions that will completely include them into the municipal development framework.
